This paper utilizes data from the l969 wave of the NLS of Young Men; the sample includes 1,472 individuals, of whom 982 are white. Union members are shown to have a distinct wage advantage over comparable workers who are not union members. Nonwhite youths were found to benefit less from union membership and, in fact, the results suggest that unions discriminate against nonwhites: the racial differential in earnings is considerably greater among union members than among comparable nonmembers.
